The clip starts with a plane full of passengers in a plane experiencing turbulence, cut to an outside shot of it swooping down to its fatal end. The BAU is seen on the crash site investigating what might have spurred the descent, only to realise that the plane was not only being controlled by the pilots but also by someone else in a remote location. The storyline for this episode seems to hearken the recent, mysterious MH17 Malaysian Airlines plane, which was shot down near the Russia-Ukraine border in July.

In fact in a recent interview, the show's executive producer, Erica Messer, spoke about the plot of episode 3. She told TVFanatic that while it would seem like terrorism, that was not actually the case.

"The second episode is more of the same and then the third episode is a little bit of a departure because we're doing a massive plane wreck and it turns out it's not terrorism the way you would anticipate it...visually it feels like a feature and we really went big and we usually don't go that big that early in the season for a number of reasons but CBS was very much behind it so we went for it," she said.

Season 10 premiered on CBS on October 1.

Episode 2, will air on October 15.
